EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Consolidated LB-30A-20-CO Liberator, specifically the N24927 aircraft, affectionately known as "Diamond Lil." Originally manufactured as a B-24A Liberator for the United States Army Air Corps in 1942 (MSN 18, ex-40-2366, ex-AM927), this historic aircraft underwent an intriguing transformation. During World War II, the Liberator was diverted to the Royal Air Force (RAF) before experiencing a landing accident in the UK. Despite the mishap, the US military decided to retain the aircraft and converted it into a transport configuration, marking the effective prototype of the C-87 Liberator Express. The C-87 was a significant development in military aviation, as it provided an essential role in transporting troops, cargo, and medical supplies during the post-war era. This particular Liberator, N24927 "Diamond Lil," played a pivotal role in the evolution of military transport aircraft. The image captures the timeless beauty and grandeur of this aircraft, with its distinctive Consolidated livery and meticulously maintained appearance. The photograph, taken circa 2000, serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Consolidated LB-30A-20-CO Liberator and its role in military aviation history.
